I would greatly appreciate some help. Our electronic medical system requires that when a referral for a mammogram is given, an ICD-9 code is attached to it. Usually V70.0 cannot be used because the patient has come in for a problem-based visit (e.g. hypertension follow-up) and the doctor decides to give them a referral for a regular screening mammogram. It is my understanding that V76.10 or V76.19 would be used if a manual breast exam was given and V76.11 or V76.12 whould be used only at the facility that is providing the mammogram. What diagnosis code can I link with the referral for a mammogram at an outside facility? We have the same issue with colonoscopy referrals. Thanks very much.
